The equation that can be used to find x, the distance drilled each day, is:
5x = 121.175 - (-246.875)
This equation represents the total distance drilled over 5 days, which is equal to the difference between the starting elevation (121.175 feet) and the ending elevation (-246.875 feet).
An oil drilling company drills the same distance each day for 5 days. They started at an elevation of 121.175 feet and ended at an elevation of -246.875 feet. Which equation can be used to find x, the distance they drilled each day?
